From the Washington Post:

The candidate had a dedicated makeup artist who used to do former Wisconsin
governor Tommy Thompson, and she confided she had spent two hours with the
candidate and his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, in their private suite, fixing
their faces and hair, "making them look healthy."

What amazes me is the obsession that you RepuboNazis seem to have for Kerry and
Edward's appearance. Admittedly neither one of them has the Dumbo ears that
Dubya has, but sheesh ... they are both two decent looking human beings who
seem to take pride in their appearance. And if you think that Dubya doesn't do
stage makeup before he goes in front of a camera, then you are kidding
yourselves.

Soooooo ... why don't you guys tell us about those missing WOMD?

Or this useless war that the Bushies got us into? The one that has killed over
500 Americans and more Iraqis than Saddam did?

And where do you thing bin Laden is at?

The USA is under genuine threat from bin Laden. We were never under threat
from Iraq. Doesn't it scare you that bin Laden is still on the loose?

And when do you think that the Bushies will see fit to add some jobs? They
have done a fair job of creating wealth for shareholders (ENRON was an oops,
but Halliburton shareholders are going strong). But when do you think the
Bushies will ever get around to creating jobs for working class Americans?

And how long (and how many generations) do you thing that it will take to pay
off the Bush Deficit?

Just like Bush lost sight of bin Laden and went off on a tangent, you people
need to worry less about the appearance of candidates and more about the
substance.

Which reminds me. Kerry and Edwards certainly look more Presidential than
Dubya, now don't they? ;)

Issues with old cow Republican Nazi assholes, maybe. Like yourself.

Maggie, when you are as shallow as you are, and as dumpy as we expect that you
are, and who want to spread unpleasantness but who don't have the balls to take
a little 'reality' back, then you need to leave. And I encourage you to do so.

Just don't let the door hit you on the way out. After all ... we like that
door. You might damage it.

That, and they want to keep the campaign away from the issues. Because even
the GOP apologists realize that this president has been a loser from the word
'go.'

This entire episode with Dubya feeling the need to find old service records is
pretty indicative that the Dems have got the Ghastly Old Party on the run.
Let's just hope that the trend continues through election day.

Your current temperature is over 100, which makes me wonder how you're going to
sustain this frenzy until November without your head exploding. Go have a dish
of sangfroid.

Even better, vote for Kerry. He actually showed up for service and has wartime
experience. And medals to prove it.

Unlike Dubya, who would barely qualify for the Dan Quayle Brigade if he were to
be given anouther chance.

"Find" ... or *create*?

"A former officer in the Texas National Guard says an aide
to George W. Bush scrubbed Bush’s military records to get
rid of the disparities between those files and an account of
Bush’s military service in his official biography.

Bill Burkett, a former lieutenant colonel in the Guard,
said, “As the State Plans Officer for the Texas National
Guard, I was on full-time duty at Camp Mabry when [Bush
aide] Dan Bartlett was cleansing the George W Bush file
prior to G.W.'s presidential announcement. For most soldiers
at Camp Mabry, this was a generally known event. The
archives were closely scrutinized to make sure that the Bush
autobiography plans and the record did not directly
contradict each other. In essence it was the script of the
autobiography which Dan Bartlett and his small team used to
scrub a file to be released. This effort was further
involved by General Daniel James and Chief of Staff William
W. Goodwin at Camp Mabry.”

Burkett stated, “I knew one person who worked within the
records scrub who commented to me, while at the smoke area,
that the Bush files really showed some problems with his
‘blue-blood service record.’”

Yes, I knew one person, who knew one person, who sat next to someone on the bus
etc

You knew one person, too? Wow ... That's just like George
W. Bush.

Six years (and six months) in the National Guard ... Four
different bases ... And only *one* person remembers him ...

Do you think it's the same guy? ... Or maybe it was the guy
next to the guy on the bus ...

If this crap didn't work in 2000, why are you people trying to trot it out in
2004? Not enough serious stuff to throw at the President?

It didn't work in 2000 for several reasons ... First, and
foremost, the right-wing controlled media was never going to
let it work ... Then there is that thing about Al Gore being
spineless.

The article the Boston Globe printed in May of 2000 did not
have all the i's dotted or all the t's crossed ... It was,
however, an eye-opener. If you think it's going to go away
... It won't. It's going to get worse. Every day more and
more information is available about Bush's AWOL/desertion.
I doubt if Kerry ... or Edwards ... will make it a focus
point ... but they will have no reason to discourage all of
the incoming information about your "stud[s]" deceit.

Personally, I think it could have been a non-issue ... if
Bush would have told the truth ... (like *that* could ever
happen) ... But Bush made it an issue when he sent young men
and women into a war-for-profit ... *His* profit. When he
equated his pathetic *service* (and I use that word *very*
loosely) to the service of the National Guardspeople
presently in Iraq ... And by showing he thought so little of
our military ... he used one of their uniforms as a costume
for a photo op. To Bush ... that uniform is nothing more
than a prop. A vote-getter.

> Not enough serious stuff to throw at the President?

That would be funny even if it wasn't in a thread (started
by a conservative, BTW) called: "JobWatch: Kerry's Makeup
Artist."

Like I've said before, if the worse thing that these reichwing jerkoffs can say
about Kerry is that he uses makeup then the Democrats may well have a winner
and the GOP may well have a loser.

When swing voters go to the polls and they factor in the lack of job growth,
the debt that we've sucked down because of this foolish war, and the bodies
that have been steadily coming home from Iraq vs. a genuine war hero who might
use stage makeup, they ain't going to vote for Dubya, that's for sure.

***Whoo. Lots of head cases on this newsgroup.

Just for the record, the person who started this thread is not a conservative
and the OP, itself, has absolutely nothing to do with politics and everything
to do with an indiscreet makeup artist.

But, carry on. You gotta fill up those nights somehow, I suppose.

Yes.

I apologize, Maggie, but the name of this newsgroup is
alt.obituaries ... so I just naturally assumed this was a NG
about baseball, politics, Hollywood gossip, camping and
backbiting ... How was I to know it was also a NG about
"indiscreet makeup artist[s] ..."

However, to say a threadstarter ... during an primary ...
about John Kerry ... in a politically charged arena like
alt.obits ... has "absolutely nothing to do with politics"
... is a little misleading. Not to mention, the link you
posted had "absolutely" *everything* to do with politics.

Oh ... And sorry about the "conservative" thing.

> But, carry on. You gotta fill up those nights somehow,

You need to pay more attention ... I posted my response at
3:15 p.m. EST. As for my nights ... I have plenty to do ...
I have Snood ... and solitaire.
